With George's big birthday looming, he gets two surprises - one from his wife and the other from his mother.

Sitcom about a married couple's attempts to smooth over their singularly troubled midlife funk - Carol is hormonal and George is a transvestite.

Onlookers can't quite agree on the nature of their dynamic.
